That home hath no fellow to such as have aught.

God sendeth and giveth both mouth and the meat.

A Hundred Points of Good Husbandry (1557)

'Tis merry in hall
Where beards wag all.

A Hundred Points of Good Husbandry (1557)

Yet true it is, as cow chews cud
And trees at spring do yield forth bud,
Except wind stands as never it stood,
It is an ill wind turns none to good.

At Christmas be merry and thankful withal,
And feast your poor neighbors, the great and the small.

Ill husbandry braggeth
To go with the best:
Good husbandry baggeth
Up gold in his chest.
